WinGD makes hybrid energy system integration debut with NYK

摘要

WinGD has won a contract to integrate hybrid energy systems on four newbuild car carriers for Japanese owner NYK Line, further expanding the engine developer's portfolio of future-ready power solutions for companies navigating shipping's energy transition. The four pure car and truck carriers (PCTC) will run on LNG, with WinGD's 7X62DF-2.1 two-stroke engines coupled with shaft generators, DC-links, and battery systems. Based on its in-depth knowledge of the main engine's performance WinGD has optimized spinning reserves, peak shaving, and energy flow to run the main engine constantly at its sweet spot while avoiding inefficient generator loads. WinGD will be responsible for the system integration and system-level energy management, through WinGD's new Hybrid Control System. Combined with other ship design enhancements, the LNG-battery configuration is expected to cut overall CO_2 equivalent emissions by around 40% compared to conventionally powered vessels operating on heavy fuel oil, taking them beyond IMO's 2030 target for cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
